Wow...$25 per pack.
I'd be willing to bet there is a bustling
trade in bootleg/untaxed ciggies. New York
has hi taxes, but not that high, and the
underground cigarette sales are booming.
They even use fake tax stamps. All that aside,
smoking ciggies is a nasty, dirty, stinky, and
expensive habit - and leave it at that.
My two cents,
